Unable to Connect to QGC with Latest Software Platform Release
-
I have several Sentinel drones with the Mircohard carrier modem. I'm working on trying to incorporate mocap odometry data and fuse it with the qvio data (https://forum.modalai.com/topic/2449/fusing-mocap-and-vio-data).
I just flashed one of the drones with the latest software platform release VOXL2 SDK 1.0.0. I'm now unable to connect to QGC (running on a PC with Ubuntu 20.04) at all. It won't autoconnect and I can't establish a comm link through the app settings in QGC. I can ping the host pc IP while shelled into the voxl and vice versa.
I noticed there isn't a parameter for qgc_ip in the voxl-vision-hub config file the way there was in the voxl-vision-px4 config file. Is there somewhere else in the voxl config files I should be setting the qgc IP address? Any troubleshooting help is appreciated, thanks!

Update: This is resolved. I tried putting the gcs ip address in the voxl-mavlink-server config file and restarting and I still wasn't able to auto-connect or initiate a connection from QGC. Once I nulled out both primary/secondary gcs ip params in the config file (per Mavlink Routing section of documentation) I was able to connect from qgc. Still can't auto-connect but that's not a concern. Wondering if wifi has to be enabled to autoconnect?

@josephmlullo Any luck connecting QGC automatically again? Voxl-configure-vision-px4 not being there also made me do these steps but it worked. Thanks!

@Jgaucin I reflashed the system image for an unrelated reason and now the drone autoconnects to QGC with these settings in voxl-mavlink-server.conf file in /etc/modalai.
"x.x.x.x" is the IP of the host PC running QGC.
